Discover more about Santorini’s winemaking process and its distinctive viticulture from the driver/sommelier as you travel through arid fields and vineyards.
Santorini can create a wine that is full of minerals and has delicate flavor notes because of its volcanic aspa soil. Grapes on the island are raised in baskets that are positioned near the ground, which aids in the retention of rainwater. Visit the wine estates’ cellars to follow the production line from grape harvest through wine maturation.
Take a tour of one of the estate’s volcanic vineyards with your guide and sample up to 12 distinct island wine varietals, such as assyrtiko and vinsanto from the area. Visit three Santorini family-owned wineries as part of this wine tour. Make your way to the open terrace at the final wine estate for an outdoor wine tasting and a dish of tapas with views of the Santorini caldera’s setting sun.
After a fascinating half-day experience, your Santorini winery tour will end with a return at the same point you were picked up.
Argyris and the tour were great! Been on a number of wine tours and this is the first the driver gave the tastings. Amazing to have such a knowledgeable guide on the wine and the island.
We had a really nice morning with Argyris. He was knowledgeable about the wine region in Santorini and shared us a lot of information. He was very helpful and even took us to Oia at the end of the tour. I would really recommend him. Thank you!
Honestly, this was awesome. We have a genuine interest in wine and wanted to experience the local wines, understand the varietals grown on the island, and learn about the way the grapes are grown in the harsh climate on Santorini. Our guide Argyris was brilliant, he had extensive knowledge of wine and presented the tastings at each winery. The wines were great, special mention to the Gavalas Mavrotragano which was probably our wine of the day. I highly recommend this tour – I particularly liked the option to do it later in the day, starting at 4.30pm to include the Sunset. Thanks again to Argyris for making it a special experience.
We had the best afternoon with Archie! He was extremely knowledgeable, efficient and kind. He helped us out of the car, parked up front, helped us skip the line, showed us restrooms. It was the perfect day!! We purchased some wines to bring back to the states and had wonderful charcuterie during our tastings.
Archie did a fabulous job taking us to the wineries, explaining everything very well. He even arranged lunch. He was very personable. Excellent English.
